ohboyyy | Should I do anything with my money right now? |
I have $4000 in an ing savings account and three CD's ($1000 each = $3000 total). Should I do anything right now since the dollar is getting weaker and feds are going to be cutting rates next week.

I also have $1000 in a checking account in Wells Fargo. I am 23 years old. So right now, I have about $8000 with $3000 of that in CD's. |

When do your CD's mature? If you are geting 5% then you may as well stay in them for now...don't sell them early, collect the 5%, its well above current CD rates. The Fed is definately cutting rates so cash is not going to get you anything either.
Fundamentally, the market is oversold. Technically, the market tested the bottom earlier this week and the 400+ point rally signaled a turn in the market ( yes, even though it gave it back). You should not see the market get too much below 12,000 or so moving forward. There will be bumps along the way...
You are 23 years old and have a ton of time...you should be in the market! Open IRA's and contribute to them! It's buying time, especially for long term investors. High quality stocks that pay dividends will emerge as the new market leaders. There are plenty of comapnies with big dividends that can weather this storm and emerge on top.
You can either learn about individual stocks or just get yourself invested in some mutual funds. You are young - buy into the market. Start now, keep contributing, maybe you'll have a million bucks by time you get to retirement... |

Stay where you are; the markets will go lower before they will recover. As long as you can stay ahead or even with the rate of inflation (in a Money Market account), you can maintain your money's value. Good Luck! |

CD's are ultra safe in this environment but they won't make you any serious money. If you don't have at least 3 months living expenses plus 3,000 grand don't play the market until you save up.
If you do have the money wait for 1 week we will see Tuesday when the Fed meets, I think this will be the last rate cut required to fix the economy. You should be looking at ETF's that track the S&P or even China(FXI) etc..... they have taken a beating and are good buys. Whether we like it or not WE ARE IN A RECESSION - but recessions bring cheap bargains and future appreciation. It may take 1 year or 1 and half years but the indexes are going to fly right up again eventually.
Don't let all the doom and gloom fool you, the powers that be won't let the economy fall into serious recession or depression like in the old old days.

international equity or value mutual funds. i would only invest maybe $2000 now but maybe $2000 more in 3-5 months. try to buy your first house inthe next 12 months, and do not buy more house than you can afford. live within your means as the economy is not expected to return to normal levels for the next 18+ months. |

The dollar is going down, look for good entry points to get into buying oil and gold related ETFs. ETFs are like mutual funds, but trade like stocks. You can buy them through a broker like Schwab.
If you want to make money in a downtrending market like right now, look into options where you can make money no matter where the market is heading. Options are riskier, but they are much more fun to trade with! |

Hello,
I also had a similair problem as you have.
I had a good amount of money, and wanted it to grow.
So I looked around on the internet to find something that is:
1) giving me great returns towards a relatively small risk
2) Professional people who know what they where doing with my money.
I'm glad to say I finally found a moneymanager who is capable of giving me good returns and give me a great support.
On this blog you can follow up all the results that he is making:
http://my-robottrader.blogspot.com/
My money is working for me, in a little over two months I already have a ROI of 74%.
So you don't hear me complaining!
Annyway if you would like to get in touch with my moneymanager to have some more information feel free to contact me you can send an email to me at derrekmay at gmail.com.
Then I'll give you the email adress of my moneymanager
Hope this has helped you! |

Real estate is at record lows. Pursue that route, it may go down a bit lower, however t will come back up. But a house with sweat equity, hire a management co to run everything,but do nothing but make sure you make a profit. Have an attorney and CPA look over all the records.Remember the numbers tell a story. Know the area, and seek advisers. |

Honestly I do not know why people are saying it is hard to make money in the stock market today. It is as easy as it has ever been.
I suggest if you want to invest it in something better you should take a couple months to learn how to invest first. |

You don't say what your income is.
Keep 3 months of income in the CD's. (Emergency Fund)
If you haven't started a Roth IRA, start it NOW.
Max out your Roth and any other retirement plan your employer may contribute to (up to their max match).
Always pay yourself FIRST, 10% (Savings/retirement).
Only after these two things do you have discretionary investment dollars.
If you have any left.....gold and silver coins and bullion, while it's still affordable. And don't put 'em in a safe deposit box, keep 'em close, keep 'em secret.
GOLD HAS ALWAYS BEEN MONEY AND ALWAYS WILL. |

You are 23? Put everything in ETFC. This is the time to take risks not when you are 60.
I think the bottom will be April or May, maybe even now.
No to gold, no to oil, no to real estate, no to any commodity except land. US$ might be OK at these levels but still speculative.
Leave the CDs and Mutual Funds to your grandparents. |
